You might get some idea of the source if you remove the flywheel housing cover behind the pan. Clean and dry everything you can get to. The bottom of the main cap is accessible. Dry it, the pan, the gaskets, everything. Start the car and run until it drips. Then crawl back underneath with a flashlight. With some luck you might see a source; of leak other that the bearing. Worth a try before tearing into it.
